This Spanish/English, beautifully illustrated, book about a famous New Mexican legend, tells the story of a beating heart found in a rough-hewn box in the desert and is taken and kept on the altar of a local church, bringing the healing of love to all. The author says, “There are places and times that are chosen for us. For those who feel a heart beat, nothing is every the same.”

“This warm, almost poetic, tale of the beating heart will touch and melt even the most hard-hearted among us. The lesson? For you, the reader, to discern.” —Book Talk
